    Just wondering which of these is recommended for a Dell XPS m1530.

    The NC2000 is somewhat expensive and I do not wish to overspend on something I did not absolutely need.

    In other words, will the NC1000 be anough for my Dell XPS m1530?

    if u are already willing to spend a premium, for a premium product. then i would recommend the nzxt cryo LX.

    simple answer: it will do everything the nc1000/2000 does, but better and have more versatility.

    Still hoping to get a straight answer between the NC1000 or the NC2000

    According to your review, X2P, it seems the NC2000 is the better choice but the laptop you used on your review =/= a dell xps m1530.

    Has anyone with an m1530 tried either of these coolers?

    If you have more money go for the NC2000, since it seems to offer better cooling capabilities and fits the laptop better. If not, the NC1000 is almost the same.

    If you read it well you would notice the reasoning the NC2000 won. The larger cooling surface makes it far easier to reach more vents and areas on the notebook

    all the coolers mentioned in this thread are popular coolers that alot of ppl are already using.
